| - Ohio City's latest is a very welcome addition. Located in the old Lelolai bakery/deli spot at W. 25th and Gould Ct, you might be surprised at the chic yet cozy decor inside. The menu is upscale southern food. While I wouldn't call it a healthy menu, what I ate and saw wasn't greasy, fat laden food at all.
SOHO has a full bar, showcasing several mixed drinks. I wouldn't consider this a destination as a cocktail bar, but what I had was high quality (can't recall which drink I had unfortunately). The beer selection is good while even being a bit unique. There were selections I've never seen before.
We started with crawfish fritters, which are a southern spin on crab cakes. Very tasty.
I ate the pork chops. They were delicious, unbreaded, and lean. I wish the menu were online to refresh my memory about the dish. I just remember than I really liked it. My date had the shrimp & grits. Again, very good, and neither dish was heavy.
I'd like to be more specific, but since this is a new place I wanted to get a review up rather than take the time to add specifics. SOHO lives up to its promise as an upscale take on southern cuisine. I can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. The Po'Boy looked amazing.
